My son and I had an amazing time on our charter fishing trip with Captain Bell. Even though my son got seasick, Captain Bell’s understanding and flexibility turned the day around. He adjusted the fishing plan with professionalism and care, ensuring we had a fantastic experience. My son is already excited to go again and insists on choosing Captain Bell. Highly recommend him for individuals and families looking for a fun, flexible, and memorable outing on the water!

GREAT TRIP

Capt Bell was great, his knowledge and experience is second to none. He put us on fish quickly and worked hard to make sure our experience was pleasurable. We had my 5 year old grandson on board and Captain Bell was patient and work with him to make sure his trip was memorable. I would recommend Captain Bell every time to those who asked me who they should choose to go fishing with. A great time was had by all.
